a/n-below are just a couple of reviews from the past couple chapters that i wanted to reply to.

cinderelly-join the club. my sister really, really, really doesn't like me too! and conner is not eighty. he's only like 51. my other sister had the same concerns though. she doesn't like the rangers being older, but if i told u now what was going to happen, it would ruin the whole story.

the little mermaid-tanya did adopt ted when he was four. see chapter 16 of a legacy continued and chapter 2 of this story. therefore, i was telling the truth and don't need someone to proofread my chapters.

disclaimer-not mine

Chapter Eight-Reunions at the Aquabase

"They're back." David announced to the room. "The Megaship just docked."

Andros was the first one up and out the door. "I am so gonna kill those three."

Before anyone could could stop him, Andros was gone. Ann followed after him quickly, anxious to see her children once more. Everyone else followed at a more gradual pace, as none of the rest of them really had a pressing need to see their spaceship or their children.

Seeing as he was the first one to leave the room, Andros was also the first one to reach to docking bay where the megaship had just landed. Ann hadn't been expecting him to be standing right in the doorway, and consequently practically ran into him.

"They get out yet?" Ann asked.

"See any dead bodies yet?" Andros questioned.

"Bet they saw you waiting." Ann said. "Good luck getting your ship back now."

Before Andros could respond, the ramp finally opened, and someone appeared at the top. Whoever it was, was standing far enough back in the shadows so that neither Ann nor Andros could tell who it was. Suddenly, voices could be heard from the inside.

"Just go down." A voice that sounded very much like Ada's said. "All three of you."

Ann turned to Andros. "Looks like you get to kill before I get to check for injuries."

"Do you think I can be arrested here?" Andros asked no one in particular. "I mean, technically, I could be a breakthrough for the government. I am an alien lifeform. Think that could get me out of jail for manslaughter?"

"Well, technically, you'd be killing your fellow 'alien lifeforms'." Ann said. "So yeah, probably."

Andros nodded. "This works for me. Those three are so dead."

"GO!" A voice shouted from inside the ship. Yep, it was definitely Ada.

Andros and Ann turned back to the ship to see three people walking down the ramp. However, they were definitely surprised to see who it was. Yes, it was two men and a woman. But it was definitely not Andros' son and niece and nephew. No...it was Ann's parents and father-in-law.

"Is that...?" Andros said. Ann could only nod.

Kim was the first to speak when they were off the ramp. "Umm, hello?"

"Andros!" Tommy said suddenly. "Almost didn't recognize you there. Ada didn't say you were here." He turned to Ann. "And who are you?"

"Your daughter." Was all Ann could say before she fainted.

Surprisingly, Kim didn't faint as well, she only sighed. "Like mother, like daughter."

"So, where's David then?" Tommy asked conversationaly, totally ignoring the fact that his daughter, who was now older than him, was lying on the floor in a dead faint.

"Someone want me?" A voice asked from behind Andros. "And why is Ann lying on the floor?"

"Yes, and mom fainted." Ada answered, now walking down that ramp as well, leading Kyle. "So, Uncle David, guess who we found?"

"Well, where were you?" David questioned.

"You better haven't gone any place other than what you were supposed to." Ted added.

"Don't worry about it dad." Ada said. Adam's head turned sharply in Ted's direction, then moved again for confirmation from his new found granddaughter, who nodded slightly. "So, umm, where's Grandma?"

"I'm right here Ada. We all are." Tanya said, coming up behind her son.

Ada smiled as she saw the three people at the front of the crowd. Then she motioned her three grandparents forward.

"We found them." She announced.

Tanya's breath caught in her throat and she had tears in her eyes. Both Ted and David's reactions were the same. Their jaws simply dropped at their newly found parent, or in David's case, parents.

"Grandma!" Kyle said excitedly to Tanya. "We found Grandpa! And our other Grandma and Grandpa! Isn't that so cool? And we met this nice lady named...uh...Hayley. And Crystal too. She brought us Granpa, and Granma, and Grandpa. Wanna meet her?"

"Did you just say Crystal?" Kimmie asked sharply.

"Yep." Kyle said happily.

Kimmie turned to David and Ted. "Do you remember Crystal?"

As one, the two men nodded.

"She was the white ranger." David said softly. "But she disappeared. All we could ever get out of her was that her name was Crystal. How did she find mom and dad and Uncle Adam?"

"Because my sister led me to them." Crystal said, now also walking down the ramp. "My sister, the one who took them prisoner in the first place. My sister, Scarlette."

"WHAT?!"

"HAXEL!" Scarlette screeched.

The fierce general winced. This definitely didn't sound good.

He walked into the throne room to find his mistress standing just outside of the entrance to the dark dimension fuming. Scratch the part about this not sounding good, this just didn't look good...at all.

"Yes, mistress?" Haxel questioned as soon as he was in the room.

"Get in there." Scarlette hissed, pointing to the dark dimension. Fearfully, Haxel obeyed.

The sight that met his eyes was much different than the one he was expecting though. Gone were the three people who had mysteriously been glowing for the past sixteen years. They had mysteriously dissappeared. Haxel turned at the sound of Scarlette coming in behind him.

"They're gone." He stated.

"I can see that." Scarlette snapped. "What I want to know is how? It is impossible for them to escape from my spell on their own, and no one could have gotten in here without my knowledge."

Haxel was silent in thought. Then an idea struck him. He turned to Scarlette.

"What about your sister?"

Scarlette caught her breath. "I left her in the throne room. She was trapped in another of my spells...but I didn't see her in there just now. I bet she was the one who did it."

The two of them were silent for a moment.

Then, "But they won't find anything, or anyone, on earth to help them." Scarlette finally said. "None of their ranger friends have been seen or heard from in over thirty years, and the last of the rangers have just fallen. They won't last. We'll have them back in no time."

She turned to face Haxel. "Or else."

So, in short terms, her parents were back. In the long run, they were eight years younger than her and had no idea how to save all of the other trapped rangers.

At the current moment, Ann had a headache.

Which of course wasn't being helped by the fact that Kyle was running around screaming like a maniac about birds. Who on earth had had the idea to make him a power ranger?

Ann's head snapped up to gaze at her young son, her eye's wide. Then her gaze shifted to her husband and her brother, then onto her best friend, and last but not least, the woman who was apparently her arch-enemies younger sister. Who had been the one to decide to make them the power rangers?

Who had been the one to decide to make everyone in Ann's life, a power ranger?

Who used to be a big floating head, and lived in a command center in the middle of a desert, and had a robot as their only companion?

The answer was so simple, that the solution to all of their problems had been solved with one word that Ann uttered in a soft voice that made everyone in the room go dead silent in surprise.

"Zordon."
